Hi Everybody,
I assume both ELECTRIC POWERED lawnmower and POWERED BY ELECTRICITY lownmower are correct, but is there any difference in meaning, or maybe usage (BE or AE)?
TIA,
Kate. |

In the U.S., we would usually call it an electric mower. It is a lawn mower that is powered by electricity, or is electrically powered.
You could call it an electrically powered mower or a mower powered by electricity, but you would not say "a powered by electricity lawnmower."
